For the subsection on Yamhill-Carlton AVA, I was curious if the following could be edited to be more precise:
"the AVA’s soils are derived entirely from uplifted marine sediments,"
Are there not some volcanics found here? Or can volcanics be derived from uplifted marine sediments. I always thought they were pretty separate. Thanks
Confirmed and updated!
FYI Sagemoor, Dionysys, Bacchus, and Gamache are located in the White Bluffs AVA according to https://sagemoorvineyards.com/white-bluffs-ava . May want to update the expert guide; study guide, and AVA pages.
Should be noted that in the Columbia Valley subsection of the AVA section, Sagemoor and Stillwater Vineyards are noted as being outside of an AVA. With the addition of White Bluffs AVA and Royal Slope AVA, respectively, these vineyards are now located within a nested AVA.
In the Wahluke Slope section, the feature to the west should read "Hanford Reach National Monument" per the USFWS (not "Hanford Ranch National Monument")
In reading through the section above on Willamette Valley, the following is noted: "The northern valley between Salem and Portland is home to almost 85% of the AVA’s Pinot Noir, and all nine of the Willamette Valley’s smaller, nested AVAs are also located here, roughly encircling McMinnville." I believe that the AVA of Lower Long Tom, added in 2021, changes both the total sub-AVA's to ten and the reference to the geography.
Thank you, Michael!
Another small note: Candy Mountain appears to be missing from the list of nested AVAs at the beginning of the Columbia Valley section.
Thanks, Skyler!
